Brown Dust vs Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey
Brown Dust
Brown Dust is an anime-inspired Korean RPG that has a fun, sprite-based graphical style, an in-depth turn-based combat system which will remind you of Final Fantasy Tactics, and a varied selection of mercenaries that you can recruit and upgrade. In addition to the more than 300 mercenaries to recruit and deploy into your team, there are just so many different formations and attack order you can use. All of this makes up for a strategically challenging game!Of course, being an RPG, you can also expect tons of features that are commonly associated with the genre, including a story-driven campaign, a host of PvE dungeons, a PvP arena, and, if you're part of a guild, guild wars.
Brown Dust incorporates the best features of various prominent games within its genre to come up with such an engaging gameplay. It's really gorgeous to behold as well! If this is something you'd like, do give the game a try!
Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey
Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey is actually an official browser MMO game for the popular magic-dueling anime, Fairy Tail, unlike some of the anime MMOs we've encountered so far. Featuring all the familiar cast of characters, this game will pit your team of hand-picked heroes against the anime’s biggest villains as you battle your way through the Grand Magic Games and hopefully, help your guild, Fairy Tail, secure its title of being the most powerful magic guild in Fiore. However, things don’t go as planned and soon enough, you may find yourself embroiled in an adventure that’s much more intriguing…The game plays out much like your typical browser MMO. This basically means that combat is automated and questing is semi-automated as well. You won't be fighting alone either - you will eventually be able to assemble a team of mages, along with a pet and mount, to help you along in your journey. These mages, mount and pet can of course be upgraded to increase their combat efficiency and hence, your overall combat power.
Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey may have the blessing and perhaps even backing of the actual anime franchise, but the game isn't exactly breaking the typical mould that defines a browser MMO. It's fun enough for fans of the anime and for casual-like MMOs though, and if you're among the players who fall into one of these two camps, you'll want to give the game a try.
